Depending on the commute, I cover most area's in London and some parts of Surrey. I also have a growing team of handpicked *Ayurveda Doula Angels* (aka: birth workers who also hold Ayurvedic Certifications and have gone through an onboarding process with me) who may very well be able to serve you where and when I can't.

Can't wait to talk soon!

My stream of Ayurvedic wealth is available to you as soon as you decide to plan your fourth trimester with me.

However, I think you're referring to the cherry on the cake: your healing treatments. These start when you are ready and continue for six weeks from that day onwards. For most the birthers I have worked with, this will be around day 5 after a natural birth; or around day 28 after a Ceasarean.

After a ceasarean, it's up to you if you want to wait until you're in the clear to receive your full body treatments; or if you want to dedicate (some of) the time we had blocked for your sessions on smaller treatments, such as reflexology, Ayurvedic scalp & face treatment or a neck release.

You can still receive guidance around nutrition, and the herbal remedies will be just as helpful (if not more!).

I typically begin with the full body body treatments between day 21-28 after your ceasarean, and your session count will begin then. Minus, of course, any treatments received in the weeks prior to the full body ritual.

I have always worked in homes around central London. In other words: I am used to working within confined spaces. I can't facilitate treatments from your bed as that would take a toll on my own back health - but I am open to working on a Thai mattress if that is your preference. However, in most cases I bring one of my foldable massage beds* to our first session, which will stay with you until the last session. This table is typically 200cm long and 60cm wide, and I need to be able to freely walk and "squad" around it. I will always bring the bedding and towels. Most of my clients will have a bolster or pillow handy to place under their knees.

In addition to the above, I need some clear desk/table space for the oils and tools (preferably away from your electronics and any items of value), an available plug for the aroma diffuser and (if possible) another plug for a kettle.

It's best for you to receive the treatments in a room where you feel at your very best and comfiest. For most people this is their bedroom, meditation/yoga space, or their garden (in Summer).

*My tables are always foldable so the set-up is quick and can also be easily tucked away after each session if you need your space back. You're welcome to use the table for any massages your family and loved ones may want to treat you to in-between sessions.

What you want to receive is up to you! It's *your* fourth trimester and I want to offer you the flexibility to change things where possible.

Examples are: using floral-infused water instead of herbalised oil, swapping the Sitz Bath for Perineum drops or a peri bottle, choosing another way to wrap the belly that is easier to repeat on yourself on the days that I am not there, opting out of the ceremonial sessions and spend the extra time on things like more bodywork, your first postnatal movements, pelvic floor activation or meditation.

Had a really tough night and Baby does not seem to be ready to miss their mother for two hours today? You have the flexibility to reschedule a session.

Not into birth preparation or Ayurvedic food? These are all just extra's and you're obviously not obliged to follow the program. Just do what feels right for you at this time and feel free to discuss any alternative ways in which I can support you.

Things that aren't possible: swapping bodywork for meal preparation (although I can help you find solutions), splitting sessions up into more sessions, or taking parts out of the plan in return for a discount.

You will not have to pay a penny until after we have met in-person. During your prenatal assessment you will get a taste of how I work with Ayurveda, and, of course, you will get to know me a little bit better. After this session, you will receive your first instalment. As soon as your funds arrive I will reserve your spot for you. But even then, you still have up until 31 days before your due date to decide you may not want to go ahead with the full plan. The holding fee is non-refundable, but you will receive an invitation to come to the studio to receive 1 postnatal treatment.

Planned in for a Package, but want to switch to another? Let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you. No fees apply unless you're changing from Sun or Moon to Earth - fee calculation depends on how far ahead you are with your plan.

If you want to make sure you will like my touch, I invite you to book in for a single pregnancy treatment before your first instalment is due - I will treat you to some extra's if you do.

Let's manifest that none of these will happen 🙏🏻.

However, we are just humble human beings exposed to the enormous earthy powers of birthing a baby and, of course, things don't always go as planned. If this scenario will be yours, trust that I will have been in touch with you before any questions around policies will have crossed your mind.
